'''Limited voting''' (also known as '''partial block voting''') is a [[voting system]] in which electors have fewer votes than there are positions available. The positions are awarded to the candidates who receive the most votes.  In the special case in which the voter may vote for only one candidate and there are two or more posts, this system is called the [[single non-transferable vote]] or sometimes the strictly limited vote.<ref name="lambert">{{cite book
